Supporting your community

Our services are available to all communities of Hampshire, Isle of Wight, Portsmouth and Southampton.

We are also able to work within communities locally to offer support 1 to 1 support for people who feel that they are putting themselves at risk by the choices that they have made in their relationships and with the sex they choose to have.

This work focuses on helping people to make safer choices about sex and recognise unhealthy relationships. Anyone can make a request to take part in this work.

The Community Outreach Team also work with local community groups including LGBT+ organisations and Black and Minority ethnic community groups, to provide information on HIV prevention, sexual health, STI testing and contraception use.

If you would like to enquire about us working in your community, or with you as in individual please contact us securely at snhs.sexualhealthpromotion@nhs.net.
